I’m stoked that Spring is finally here. Although the cold temperatures aren’t awesome, we can still officially say it’s Spring. Woo hoo! To celebrate, I’ve teamed up with some amazingly talented ladies in a Spring blog hop, where you can tour 30 homes that have been decked out for Spring. For my home tour, I’ve […]

I love a pretty girls room, and my goodness, does Amy’s little girl’s room fit the bill. First of all, let’s start with that gorgeous teepee. I am loving all that pretty lace detail and the flowers at the top. What a lucky little lady. But this post isn’t all about how pretty this space […]

I’m so pleased to be participating in the Summer Home Tour series this year, hosted by the lovely Michele from Shelstring Blog. Our backyard has undergone an unbelievable transformation. It’s not all complete yet, but you’ll be first to see the new space, and I’m so excited to show you. So, without further ado; let’s […]

One way to stay warm and cozy on this cold January day is to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa. This is one thing that I actually love about the cooler months, and we can’t seem to be able to keep our hot cocoa stocked for more than a day or two around […]

Now that the Christmas season has officially come to an end and most of us have taken down our holiday decor, we’re left with a space that feels sort of naked. Anyone else feel that way? lol. Since it’s still too soon to bust out some happy spring colours, I’m left with wondering how to […]

I can’t believe we are already half way through the summer. I love the heat, and feel a little bit bummed when I start to see all the Fall decor posts on Instagram and Pinterest. I’m all about soaking up the sun for as long as I possibly can. That’s why I love this post […]

Summer is flying by and the weather has been okay lately in my neck of the woods. One thing that’s for sure, no matter if it’s raining or sunny outside, the kids seem to be constantly wanting a fun snack. I’ve literally been clearing the table of our dinner dishes and my youngest asks me […]

Today for the Spectacular Summer Blog Hop, Victoria from the blog Dazzle While Frazzled has designed some adorable FREE Summer Printables! They are all so sweet, but I think my favourite is the Keep it Salty one. It would be perfect displayed anywhere all summer long. Thank you so much Victoria for these fabulous summer […]

Canada is celebrating it’s 150th Birthday on July 1st this year. I’m crossing my fingers that the rain will stop for long enough for us to enjoy some time outside on the big day. But even if it doesn’t, this Canada Day String Art can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors. I’ve always been intrigued by […]

It’s that time again for us to share a fabulous new recipe with you. This one is especially fun, because it’s a drink! Ok, so not a boozy drink, but how great would a Homemade Blackberry Lemonade stand be for the kids this summer? They would make a killing! My mouth is watering at the […]

Tomorrow is officially the first day of Summer! I’m hopeful that with the season changing from Spring to Summer, all this rain we’ve been having will come to an end. Fingers crossed… But I’ve kept my spirits up by telling myself that all the plants and flowers are doing wonderfully this year because of all […]

Summer is nearly here, and I’ve been soaking up the sun at every possible moment. How are you enjoying the heat so far? Last week, for the Spectacular Summer Blog Hop, we showed you how to make a cute banner for July 4th. This week, Laura from The No Pressure Life will show us how […]

The weather has finally taken a turn for the better and I’m SO happy! This time of year is my favourite, since it means lots of time outside in the sunshine and banking some good ol’ family time. I also love get togethers with family and friends for a casual meal or a big elaborate […]
